Same problems here like Patrice's.
Only with an extra USB stick I could start (See message of Tormod Volden on 2008-01-11 above).
I have a Philips DVDR1640, and used Hardy-alpha4. Disabling DMA didn't help.
After starting with the USB stick, the dmesg contains almost no information, so I let it fallback to BusyBox again an checked that dmesg.
My BIOS settings for my dvd-rewriter are PIO mode 4 and UDMA mode 2, but dmesg says "UDMA/3". Is that okay? Since I use a normal IDE-cable (not a UDMA cable).
